Israel --- June 23, 2013
The so-called Jewish Internet
Defense Force or JIDF is being investigated by the FBI for computer
hacking, fraud and criminal harassment.
The so-called
JIDF was created a few years ago by David Brotsky who goes under
several aliases on both Facebook and Twitter. Among them are David
Appletree, David Pitch and The Jewess.
Brotsky has
attacked several leading, respected Jewish and Christian leaders
and organizations. Among them are Prime Minister Netanyahu, Israel
President Shimon Peres, the ADL, Nefesh bNefesh, Jewish
Federations of North America, Christians United for Israel, The
Jewish Agency and the IDF Israel Defense Forces.
Brotsky, who
is an American citizen living on the Upper West side of New York
is not an Israeli citizen, has never served in the IDF yet attacks
those who do.
Brotsky has
recently targeted respected Israeli journalist and international
media consultant Joel Leyden and Israeli border policeman, Israeli
anti-terror consultant Phillip Pasmanick.
If there
was ever a case of Lashon Hara on Facebook and Twitter which means
libel and slander this is it, says Joel
Leyden.
He calls me a rapist and convicted criminal in blogs and
other Websites. Now that would not be so bad if there were convictions
or even court appearances involved. Brotsky, who hides behind
proxy servers, attacks anyone who criticizes him and throws out
venemous Disneyland charges in the process.
Leyden adds:
But his campaigns of libel and slander are nothing compared
to his hacking of computers. He hacked one of my email accounts.
How can I prove this? Because Brotsky admits it in an email he
sent to me and others. This crosses every red line.
Leyden filed
charges against Brotsky with the Federal Bureau of Investigation
this past week.
As an
Internet pioneer, there is very little that I have not seen on
the Web, says Leyden who co-created Israels first
commercial Website back in 1995 and helped create the IDF cyber
unit. Leyden has served as a senior consultant to the Israel Ministry
of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense.
Brotsky,
who has been banned at both Wikipedia and Facebook under his alias
David Appletree, and has no support from any Jewish or Israeli
organization, defines the essence of a cyber bully. He thinks
that he can hide behind a computer screen and throw rocks at anyone
he wants. Many people have asked him to stop his libelous attacks
with no success. I have worked with the FBI before, they are pros
at this kind of destructive, criminal behavior. I know that the
FBI will put an end to this kind of malicious activity and seek
out those who helped Brotsky perpetrate these criminal and civil
crimes.
Alain Horoit,
an entrepreneur and creator of the 55,000 member Hatikvah
group on Facebook states: We are living in an era where
Internet has eased the possibility to bully and slander any group
or individuals.
Horoit continues:
This appears to have become the new trend and will reach
new proportions despite bullying and defamation to be illegal
and criminal. I recently created Stop
Lashon Hara, a newly launched Website that will shed light
on many false accusations which are too quickly and unjustly been
spread on the Internet. If you too are a victim of online bullying,
defamation or falsely accused, contact the Webmaster at info@stoplashonhara.com
Israel border
policeman Phillip Pasmanick: The JIDF seems to be run by
a someone whos ramblings reflect a megalomania disposition.
He often uses the same retorts or rebuttals (using fake names)
against anyone criticizing him, or calling out his rampant online
abuse. His targets, many who continue to work endlessly supporting
& defending Israel may have been picked out because the JIDF
has become impotent in the last few years (as seen by his continual
re-posting of very old accomplishments) and they think that by
eliminating us, theyll shine once again.
Pasmanick
adds: There is no place for personal attacks and or slander
in the Facebook community, Twitter or any public forum.
This is not
the first time that JIDF and David Brotskys had a brush
with the FBI. Earlier this year the JIDFs Twitter account
posted several messages that claimed they wished to arm individuals
in every major city and use vigilante justice against
people who disagreed with them on the Internet, i.e. trolls.
The threats have since been deleted from their timeline. Several
people have apparently contacted the FBI and Department of Homeland
Security in the United States.
